  ABSTRACT: We present a 27-year-old female patient received for epistaxis associated with gingivorrhagia. In her medical history, she had undergone an oesogastroduodenal fibroscopy one year earlier, which revealed a bulbar ulcer with gastritis. On admission, she presented with a bleeding syndrome, an anemic syndrome with poor hemodynamic tolerance, and epigastric sensitivity. The blood count performed in the emergency on the citrate tube showed a bicy-topenia (regenerative anemia + thrombocytopenia). The HELIKIT test was positive. Thus, the hypothesis of an acute immunological thrombocytopenic purpura associated with a Helicobacter pylori infection seemed to us the most probable with a Khellaf hemorrhagic score of 8. She had benefited from a bolus of methyl prednisone: 15 mg/kg/day for 3 days then relay per os with prednisone 1 mg/kg/day (and adjuvant treatment); the eradicating treatment of Helicobacter pylori had been simultaneously started.
